DHAKA: Twitter, second giant social media is going to get ‘Facebook flavor’ following the leading social connector.

It has already begun revamping profile pages to let users display more of their online personalities, giving the popular service a Facebook-like feel from Wednesday.

Zee News reported that the new web profile lets you use a larger profile photo, customize your header, show off your best Tweets and more, Twitter designer David Bellona said in a blog post on the day.

They said the new profile lets users display a bigger picture and manage the header like Facebook’s display picture and cover photo.

At the top of the page, information on the number of tweets, photos/videos posted, people followed by the users and their own followers will be displayed.

Twitter showed off the redesign on the official accounts of high-profile people and celebrities such as that of US First Lady Michelle Obama at @flotus and music stars @JohnLegend and @Weezer.

People who join Twitter will see the new layout, while existing Twitter users will receive it over the coming weeks, according to a Twitter blog post

On redesigned Twitter pages, messages that prompt people to respond or ‘re-tweet’ appear in larger type to reveal which comments resonated with followers.

A favorite ‘tweet’ can be pinned atop pages to make it easy for ‘followers to see what you’re all about,’ according to Bellona.

Filters are being added to allow more selective views of timelines on pages.
